Dude, you are not only physically fit, but mentally fit too.<br /><br />One thing about your long rides, however, is that we get movie reviews LOL!<br /><br />Ok, so I will cross Basterds off the list.Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-8089872013159718032010-01-19T10:23:58.491-06:002010-01-19T10:23:58.491-06:00Jeff - Volume is really low for the first couple o...Jeff - Volume is really low for the first couple of weeks. I did something to my foot during my 1/2 back in October so I literally didn't do anything till about two weeks ago. So my guy has laid out a pretty easy build up for the first 4 weeks to give my foot time to adjust. Only have about 2500yds in the pool, 1:30 on the bike, 1:00 of strength training, and only 3-4 miles on the road this week. My only goal this year is to rock IML so i have to be patient early on.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548545596390466837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-21824474742867491722010-01-18T22:43:27.114-06:002010-01-18T22:43:27.114-06:00Todd and Jason - I have actually been considering ...Todd and Jason - I have actually been considering the Adamo saddle. Everyone at BT loves it. They have a good return policy so I am thinking that I might have to pull the trigger on it real soon.<br /><br />Todd - what type of volume are you doing for your first week of IM training?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-33808566976126975592010-01-18T22:41:15.583-06:002010-01-18T22:41:15.583-06:00Steve -- IB was entertaining but NOT even close to...Steve -- IB was entertaining but NOT even close to historically accurate.

They're nose-less so instead of sitting on "the boys" you sit on your "sit bones". I don't have the $$ to drop on one right now, but i'd definitely see if a local bike shop would let you demo one.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548545596390466837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-59166161666014880862010-01-18T16:59:12.967-06:002010-01-18T16:59:12.967-06:00If you buy another saddle let me know what you buy...If you buy another saddle let me know what you buy. I have the stock saddle that came with the felt and I suffer on anything longer than 90 minutes. So I am planning to get one not sure what though... Guess everyone needs their own comfort. Congrats on the long training you are putting in! I need to get back on track myself!Whitarican (White-A-Rican)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08956738362927619489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-11948152725456785402010-01-18T13:16:48.599-06:002010-01-18T13:16:48.599-06:00Hmmm....been thinking about watching that movie. ...Hmmm....been thinking about watching that movie. I'm not a Brad Pitt fan, but it looked cool. I'm all about historical and factual detail so if the movie blows it, I won't like it.<br /><br />Gotta get a leather saddle dude. I know, I know...it sounds brutal at the beginning but it will mold to your motion and you'll love it.Boxcarvibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403267379168255742noreply@blogger.com
